Stevenson hasn't had much luck against Franklin recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Spartans will be playing in front of their home fans against the Patriots at 7:00 p.m.
Stevenson's offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Fordson on Friday. They were outmatched by the Tractors and fell 35-0.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Franklin).

The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Patriots had established a 28-point advantage.
